The Deific Wordsmith

The Word

This notebook belongs to:Klein WrightBound by body, mind, and soul.

The last line that wasn't present when I wrote my name earlier baffled me to the core. It says I was bound by body, mind, and soul. To think that I will be bounded into this notebook in body, mind, soul is preposterous! It's scary! And how can such a harmless thing do such a thing? Unless it's possessed by an evil spirit!

I heard some things about evil spirits possessing dolls or toys but I haven't heard anything possessing a notebook. And I don't really believe in such things which are really weird!

I thought I was just imagining things so I shut the notebook and opened it again hoping that I was really just hallucinating. And AHH! It's still there!

I tried to ignore it and turned to the next page. Again, something weird happened.

All of a sudden, every page suddenly turned pitch black. I was shocked and I unconsciously dropped it jumping away from my bed. I can hear my heart thumping like crazy and felt my sweat started to trickle on my every pores.

I saw the notebook suddenly floated in mid air. The pitch black pages started to flip rapidly until the last page. After a short moment, it started to glow in pure whiteness, flipping the pages back and replacing the dark pages into its opposite hue.

I was at least two meters away from my bed so I can clearly see what's been unfolding in front of me.

The white glow slowly faded after back tracking the pages and stopped in the first page where my name was written as if confirming something.

It flipped once again in the second page. Pitch black liquid started to come out of the notebook and swirled like a mini cyclone on top of it and poured itself on the page. Weird symbols and words started to form in that same page, filling it.

It finally stopped. The notebook suddenly shut itself and a gush of force erupted from it pushing me three meters back. I tried to balance and shield myself in reflex so I won't hit the wall.

The notebook fell into my bed and I sighed in relief to find that there's nothing dangerous happened. But my room was in complete mess that made me heave another sigh.

I can't believe what happened. I must say, ghost really do exist! I don't know if I should feel fear or anything. What I was feeling right now was pure curiosity mixed with unexplainable excitement.

I willed myself to go and pick up the notebook. I did. I was expecting another bizarre thing to happen but there was not.

My hands were trembling in excitement but I still tried opening the notebook but with all caution.

My name was still written in the first page without changes. What I was curious about is the second page, to see what its actual contents. So I flipped it in the next page without second thoughts.

What came into view is an almost empty page with tiny passage at the bottom of the page. Again, I was a little shocked. Where the hell did those symbols I saw earlier have gone to??

But with all the weird events that has happened just a while ago, I'm slowly getting used to it. So if there'll be more odd things happening later, I hope I won't be too shocked.

I tried to read what was written at the bottom of the page. Fortunately, it was written in my language so it wasn't that hard to read it despite of its tiny prints.

To complete the pact,One must place their palm on the empty space above.And say, I accept the Word.Only remove your palm when the pact is completed.

It was talking about a pact of some sort but I don't have any clue what it actually means.

To whom or to what did I made a pact with?

What in the actual jedi this pact is?

I tried turning to the next page to see if there are more things written on it and there my questions were answered like I wished it.

Are you doing this on purpose huh? Notebook?

As I read each line, I felt like the air around me was vibrating creating ripples of waves that distorts my surroundings. After reading the Word, I looked around but the vibrations were gone.

I don't like the serious air this Word gives. From what I understood from the Word, it basically gives the chosen one or whoever it was referring to, a power to change reality – everything.

If other people will read this, maybe they'll ignore this and take it as a joke. But others with wild curiosity will take this in a whole new level of craziness. And if it's proven true, I can only imagine what will happen next.

But what made me frown is that, I don't have any other choice but to accept the said pact! Or else I will be banished in existence. And I don't even want to try that!

I turned back one page.

I don't really have a choice so I readied myself.

I placed my right palm on the empty space and said,

I accept the Word.

A blinding light enveloped my palm as I covered my eyes in reflex. I felt my energy being sucked but I didn't dare removing my hand on it. I felt dizzy from the constant draining of my energy. It lasted for almost a minute. The air around the notebook suddenly vibrated and at the same time a burning sensation stroked my palm tracing it. After a few seconds, the bright light disappeared which probably means the pact has been completed.


I tried to remove my hands on the notebook, but my consciousness faded away putting me in a deep slumber.
